The questionnaire was composed of demographic data, job stress questionnaire, global assessment of recent stress, the ways of coping checklist, Beck depression inventory, stait-trait anxiety inventory, and shepherd Scale for defferentiate Christians from non Christians. Christianity was divided nito ¡¯Christian way of thinking¡¯ and ¡¯Christian way of living¡¯ for deep survey and analysis.
Results: In recognizing life stress and job stress, there was no difference between christians and non Christian atheist. But in coping stress, there was differecne between Christians and non Christians. ¡¯Christian way of thinking¡¯ strengthened emotion focused coping, but didn¡¯t play a buffering role in reducing stress-induced depression and anxiety of the white-collars. But ¡¯Christian way of living¡¯ increased challenge-appraisal and strenthened problem focused coping as a consequence. Also, Christian way of living had a influence on hoping thought and seeking social support. As a result, Christian belief reduced depression and anxiety.
